We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
Infinite presentations are given for all of the higher Torelli groups of once-punctured surfaces. In the case of the classical Torelli group, a finite presentation of the corresponding groupoid is also given, and finite presentations of the…
Core decomposition is a classic technique for discovering densely connected regions in a graph with large range of applications. Formally, a $k$-core is a maximal subgraph where each vertex has at least $k$ neighbors. A natural extension of…
We establish transformation laws for generalized Dedekind sums associated to the Kronecker limit function of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series and their higher-order variants. These results apply to general Fuchsian groups of the first…
Given a projective smooth curve $X$ over any field $k$, we discuss two notions of global $\mathbb{A}^1$ degree of a finite morphism of smooth curves $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ satisfying certain conditions. One originates from computing the…
We consider the generalized Thue-Morse sequences $(t_n^{(c)})_{n\ge 0}$ ($c \in [0,1)$ being a parameter) defined by $t_n^{(c)} = e^{2\pi i c s_2(n)}$, where $s_2(n)$ is the sum of digits of the binary expansion of $n$. For the polynomials…
We give a generalization of Collatz conjecture or 3n+1 problem on 2-adic completion of Q. A isometric of $Q_2$ provides information on the average behavior of the firsts terms of the sequence according to the class of $u_0$ modulo $2^m$. A…
Starting from Borcherds' fake monster Lie algebra we construct a sequence of six generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator formulas, root systems and all root multiplicities can be described explicitly. The root systems decompose…
Let $\ell$ be an odd prime, $N \geq 1$ be an integer, and $\delta \geq 1$ be a $\ell^N$-th power free integer such that ${\rm ord}_{\ell}(\delta) = 0$ or $\ell \nmid {\rm ord}_{\ell}(\delta)$. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for…
The tame fundamental group scheme for an algebraic variety is the maximal linearly reductive quotient of Nori's fundamental group scheme. In this paper, we study the tame fundamental group schemes of smooth curves defined over algebraically…
The most useful and interesting line bundles over algebraic curves of a very high genus have the ratio \delta of the degree to the genus close to half-integer values, usually \delta \approx 0, \delta \approx 1/2, or \delta \approx 1; the…
In this work the generalized Collatz problem $qn+1$ ($q$ odd) is studied. As a natural generalization of the original $3n+1$ problem, it consists of a discrete dynamical system of an arithmetical kind. Using standard methods of number…
This note announces a general construction of characteristic currents for singular connections on a vector bundle. It develops, in particular, a Chern-Weil-Simons theory for smooth bundle maps $\alpha : E \rightarrow F$ which, for smooth…
We prove general equidistribution statements (both conditional and unconditional) relating to the Fourier coefficients of arithmetically normalized holomorphic Hecke cusp forms $f_1,\ldots,f_k$ without complex multiplication, of equal…
This article represents a major step in the unification of the theory of algebraic, topological and singular transition matrices by introducing a definition which is a generalization that encompasses all of the previous three. When this…
A generalized Kummer surface $X=Km_{3}(A,G_{A})$ is the minimal resolution of the quotient of a $2$-dimensional complex torus by an order 3 symplectic automorphism group $G_{A}$. A Kummer structure on $X$ is an isomorphism class of pairs…
Algebraically simply connected surfaces of general type with p_g=q=0 and 1\le K^2\le 4 in positive characteristic (with one exception in K^2=4) are presented by using a Q-Gorenstein smoothing of two-dimensional toric singularities, a…
For $q \geq 2$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $s_{q}(n)$ denote the sum of the digits of $n$ written in base $q$. Spiegelhofer (2020) proved that the Thue--Morse sequence has level of distribution $1$, improving on a former result of Fouvry and…
The vertices of a $k$-token graph of a graph $G$ correspond to $k$ indistinguishable tokens placed on $k$ different vertices of $G$. Changing some conditions on both the nature of the tokens and the number of tokens allowed in each vertex…
The dual stable Grothendieck polynomials are a deformation of the Schur functions, originating in the study of the K-theory of the Grassmannian. We generalize these polynomials by introducing a countable family of additional parameters, and…
